~Sebastian Inlet State Park (Part 2)~

We ended up spending 3 nights at Sebastian Inlet State Park.  We LOVED it there.   It was more dolphins......

more wildlife.............
lots more fishing..................



 great views from our campsite.................
We had a fantastic time on the beach - we walked for 3 hours and found MANY beautiful shells and Bradley found "a lovely set of coconuts"!!!!   Actually he was so excited to bring it home and try and break it apart and taste the contents.......apparently coconuts go bad!!!!  The smell was disgusting!!!
Look at this gorgeous shell Becky found.
More scrounging for treasures.   Brad is trying to get a piece of fishing line out the rocks.
Another sea hare protecting itself.
Another beautiful sunrise.
A sea turtle swimming right in front of us - SO cool!
The following morning we went to Pelican Island - a National Wildlife Refuge.   We just couldn't get enough of all the beauty and wildlife here.
They had a wonderful boardwalk which took us to a lookout point overlooking the island.


Then back to the beach for more shelling.
Look at that water :)   LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Then off to the Sebastian Fishing Museum.  Such an interesting place with many things to look at, read and learn.
We watched a great movie on the commercial fishing history of Sebastian Inlet which began in the late 1800's and helped make Sebastian what it is today.

And then we washed all our shells!   These are just the ones I (Janet) found.  The kids each had their own large pile too.  We really had such a wonderful time digging deep down into the sand and pulling out these beauties!!
